Course description

**DISTANCE LEARNING COURSE**

If you want to learn French at an advanced level, our home study A level course will enable you to develop your ability to read, speak and understand the language. Knowledge of a second language is an attractive asset to any employer, and having a comprehension of French will make you eligible for a variety of roles that aren’t available to non-French-speakers. Learning French to an advanced level also carries obvious benefits for anyone who makes trips to France or conducts business with French-speakers. This A level will not only improve your knowledge of the language, but also of the culture and history of countries in which French is spoken.

You should allow for between 250 and 300 hours' study time, plus additional time for completing assignments. You will have tutor support for a period of up to 18 months from the date of enrolment.
